Hello Peter,

With this "voluntary crash", the regression test output is now

psql ... ok (test process exited with exit code 2) 281 ms

Normally, I'd expect this during development if there was a crash somewhere, but showing this during a normal run now, and moreover still saying "ok",

Well, from a testing perspective, the crash is voluntary and it is indeed ok:-)

is quite weird and confusing. Maybe this type of test should be done in the TAP framework instead.

It could. Another simpler option: add a "psql_voluntary_crash.sql" with just that test instead of modifying the "psql.sql" test script? That would keep the test exit code information, but the name of the script would make things clearer?

Also, if non zero status do not look so ok, should they be noted as bad?
